The still image kind of reminds me of Onfim’s “I am a wild beast” drawing, which is a pretty neat historical thing itself.

City Gov to Seize 175-Year-Old Farm by Eminent Domain, Replace with Affordable Housing
Family fights township attempts to replace historic farm with government project
It sounds to me like the town could eminent domain one of those warehouses instead.

To be fair, it should be a third red scare… most people forget about the red scare that happened at the end of the first world war, right as the Russian civil war was raging… There was also a wave of both civil rights and labor actions during that period, not to mention a major crack down on political radicals after a wave of global politically radical violence from the end of the 19th to the 1920s…
But yeah, this looks very interesting. I think looking at how stuff like red scare functioned at the lower levels of government (in states and local communities) gives you a much more holistic picture of how people were impacted by this and earlier red scares, and just how actually deeply racist they were.

Without having watched the video: because it was the style at the time. It’s not like the Victorians or Napoleon IIl. did anything different.
